Cyclotron Construction:
The cyclotron was built by workers of the Institute under the
leadership of PhD Jerzy Schwabe and cooperation with specialists from
Joint Institute For Nuclear Reaserch in Dubna and other institutes from
Europe.
Main elements of cyclotron AIC-144:
1. Main Magnet.
Gives constant magnet field.
2. Ion Source. Produce
protons in center of acceleration chamber.
3. Ion beam acceleration
system. Consist of accelerating electrode called dee and
conjugated with RF generator.
4. Vacuum system.
Pumping high vacuum in acceleration chamber and ion beam transport
system.
5. Ion beam extraction
system. Extract accelerated bunches of ions from cyclotron
into ion beam transport system.
6. Ion beam transport system.
Transporting ion beam from cyclotron to
Hadron Therapy Room or External Production of Radioisotopes.
